crophone.

EL control set to MIN, and disconnect the microphone.

Singing Along with Karaoke

The Vocal Masking function lets you use regular tapes, CDs, or
records as sources for Karaoke. When you select Karaoke mode,
the lead vocal volume of the source is reduced, and you can replay
it by singing into the microphones as the music plays.
